[PATCH] ubifs: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in read_nnode

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Sun Jun 04 2017 - 23:44:49 EST


The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
ubifs_change_lp (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
change_category
ubifs_remove_from_cat
remove_from_lpt_heap
dbg_check_heap
ubifs_lpt_lookup
ubifs_get_pnode
read_pnode
kzalloc(GFP_NOFS) --> may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_NOFS" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".
